25 Years on the Ground

This publication commemorates the 25 years of the opening of the Nepal resident mission, and provides an overview of how ADB's operation in Nepal has evolved over the years. ADB has provided assistance in several sectors, including agriculture and natural resources, transport and information and communication technology, energy, water and sanitation, urban development, education, finance, and governance. ADB has consistently promoted gender equality and social inclusion in development, and is putting more efforts into building institutional capacity at all levels, including local governments. Climate change mitigation measures and environmental safeguards form part of all ADB-supported projects and programs in Nepal.
